Look at the policies that have driven Btown from a town of interest to a handful of publicly interesting locations with decades of presence. Food vendors would better benefit the community through collaboration with sustainable government policies; rather than finding it beneficial to connect their resources to affordable public commercially available resources to afford their work.
Pls charge food vendors the same as produce booths. I want to see them back to what once was our thriving Saturday market. Thanks!
Please adjust the rates at the market for artisan vendors, bringing the numbers into conformity with other markets in the Midwest.
I would like to advocate an end to the % fee system for Food & Beverage Artisans. We need to support local food producers who are already competing with by stores such as Kroger etc. Let's spend our $ on locally grown food & take away another challenge that they are facing in trying to seel their products locally.
The fees for food vendors are too high and are driving vendors away from the market. That also means that the market is less interesting to patrons. The local food vendors are important to those who come. Please lower these fees.
We want to advocate for our local artisans and their unfair percentage fee for participating in the market. We love Muddy Fork Bakery and several other local food and drink artisans and would love to have them included in the City Market, but think it is unfair that they are slapped with such a high fee just to participate. I believe that if the market is open to more vendors, it will thrive and be even more popular with customers. I hope you will consider a change to the rule so that the market can help build a diverse local economy that benefits the business owners, employees, and consumers.
Please do away with the percent fee system for food and beverage vendors at the farmers market. It's not fair for them to have a different rate than the farmers and they bring lots of customers to the market, in addition to adding a large variety of food choices.
I love the farmers market. Can you please stop charging so much for people to sell in the market? The city should support local vendor not ruin them. Such a shame. Stop charging so much to people selling food! We only have ONE local bakery shop that sells sourdough.
Hi, with seasonal lighting on the square, this tree on the SW corner of Kirkwood and Walnut has broken branches tangled up with the wire from the lights. Its all over the tree, not just the one seen dangling in the photo. I assume this is a city tree and not CFC. It seems hazardous and will be unsightly when lit up. Thank you, Brad
The spring 2024 program guide has a dearth of diverse representation in the local photos. Check out the populations pictured - especially the largest/most prominent photos on the cover, p 15, p 24, p 28. Nearly all white people under 35. On a couple of other pages, people of color and older people are tiniest images. It would also be great to have images of people with disabilities in active settings, especially to highlight the inclusive recreation program.
